Measured & Proven

Full sonar processing
Covers all major manufacturers for any survey platform, including surface vessels, ROV, AUV, and ASV.

Point cloud processing
Includes editing, filtering, and cleaning for a wide variety of point cloud formats.

Automated data import
Rich data extraction allows for a "hands-off" data import and automatically generated vessel files.

Guided workflows
Automated suggestions of the next logical user action, to guide personnel and eliminate human error.

Processing state management
Intelligent processing management to ensure the correct sequence of post-processing actions with a single click.

Qimera Live
"Hands-off" near-real time data processing and gridding.

Qimera Midwater
Add-on for fast, accurate water-column processing for QINSy DB, Kongsberg ALL and KMALL, and Reson/Norbit S7K formats.

Backscatter processing
Add-on for seabed backscatter processing and mosaicking via Fledermaus Geocoder Toolbox.

Multibeam calibration
Easy to use Patch Test tool with auto-solve functions for quick use.

Time series editors and multiplots
Easily view and correlate motion data streams with bathymetry for fast and intuitive troubleshooting.

Cross check tool
Performs a statistical analysis of cross line beam footprint values versus a main scheme surface, with plot exports for reporting.

Automated data cleaning
Customizable and easy to use filters include the Spline filter, CUBE filter, and Blocking filters.

Multi-processor workflows
Cooperative Cleaning and Production Line Processing workflows allow for multiple processors for work on the same project simultaneously.

Product generation
Visualization, gridding, and data exporting in various formats.

"Connected" S-57 feature management
Add-on allows for S-57 feature creation and editing while maintaining linkages to bathymetry to ensure final charting products are synced.

Wobble tool
Quickly identify and resolve any errors made in the multibeam and motion sensor integration.

TU Delft sound speed inversion
Sound speed refraction algorithm is automated, repeatable, and generates output for vetting and reporting.

Extinction tests
Finds the outer extents that a multibeam system can achieve, helpful as an assessment of long-term acoustic health.
